In today’s fast-changing and highly interconnected world, many of the most persistent challenges leaders face arise from unintended consequences of earlier decisions. Actions that succeed in the short run often create new risks and long-term failure. Leaders increasingly recognize systems thinking as a core capability to succeed in our increasingly complex, dynamic world. The challenge is how to move from slogans about systems thinking to practical tools and methods to identify high-leverage actions that lead to sustained success.
During this webinar, you will gain insight into:
- How to identify the root causes of recurring business problems
- How short-term successes can quietly create long-term risks—and what to do about it
- System Dynamics, a powerful framework for identifying, designing, and implementing high-leverage interventions for sustained success in complex systems
- How these methods have been successfully implemented in business and other settings. What governance frameworks look like for ecosystems where humans and agents coexist—and where the biggest pitfalls lie
Learn more during Business Dynamics: MIT's Approach to Diagnosing and Solving Complex Business Problems.
